Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Today, data is used in all aspects of life to support good decision making. From civil governments, mapping institutions and local land administration authorities to NGO’s fighting climate change and deforestation and charitable organisations dealing with humanitarian disasters, many organisations rely on geospatial images to help them make timely decisions, often in times of crisis. This information is critical for responsible land management, mapping changes, protecting natural resources, monitoring urbanisation and planning sustainable infrastructure developments. Based on 35 years of experience in cartography, urban planning and mapping projects, we offer a wide range of geospatial imagery and reference layers, and expertise in mapping techniques and services including spatial data infrastructure solutions which can help governments in these areas.

Sustainability at Airbus means uniting and safeguarding the world in a safe, ethical, socially and environmentally responsible way. We have a comprehensive sustainability strategy built on four core commitments:

● Lead the journey towards clean aerospace
● Respect human rights and foster inclusion
● Build our business on the foundation of safety and quality
● Exemplify Business integrity

These commitments guide our approach to the way we do business and how we design our products and services. More information at: https://www.airbus.com/en/sustainability/sustainability-commitments

Airbus manages its environmental impacts using an Environmental Management System (EMS) that is certified to ISO14001:2015 and verified compliance annually. Airbus has produced Environmental Management Plans for all Airbus sites. The Airbus group ‘2030 Vision’ aims to reduce energy use and carbon emissions, waste production, water consumption and make improvements to the environmental efficiency of the supply chain.

In 2022 we also published our Carbon Reduction Plan https://www.airbus.com/sites/g/files/jlcbta136/files/2022-04/Airbus%20Defence%20and%20Space%20Ltd%20Carbon%20Reduction%20Plan.pdf for Airbus Defence and Space UK. By 2023 Airbus aims to source 100% of our electricity from renewable sources.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

In 2020 home working became the new normal for many and post lockdown, flexible and/or hybrid working arrangements are common practice. This change enabled many positives but also comes with additional cyber crime risk for organisations.

The COVID-19 crisis in particular demonstrated the rapidity and adaptability with which hacker groups use any event to steal information, personal data, intellectual property and money from victims. The European Commission reported a rise in criminal activity as a result of the increased amount of time that people spend online at home; remote workers are particularly vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Cybersecurity is a key business activity for Airbus. A dedicated business unit covers Airbus protection needs as well as those of governments, militaries, organisations and critical national infrastructure, for instance monitoring services provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
To meet the evolving needs of customers, Airbus leverages a diverse portfolio of cyber security solutions that includes managed security services, the protection of industrial control systems, encryption, key management and consultancy services.
Airbus is committed to good security practice and operates in accordance with Airbus Information Security Directives and Methods which are aligned to the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001. Further to this some business areas providing these services operate Information Security Management Systems certified to ISO/IEC 27001.
Following the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 Airbus adapted and evolved our ways of working to keep employees, suppliers and customers safe whilst continuing to deliver vital services to keep UK communications open / images supplied / data secure. In most cases employees are able to work remotely, keeping physical contact to a minimum without compromising on reliability or quality. Where employees do need to interact with others individuals are encouraged to take LFT’s and we maintain that anyone testing positive should continue to isolate.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

Airbus’ economic footprint spans the length and breadth of the UK. In 2020 we supported 86,400 UK jobs, compared to 128,300 pre-pandemic. In 2019, some £2.6 billion (45%) of UK procurement was with suppliers based in the 10% most deprived local authorities, identified by the Index of Multiple Deprivation. We recognise the importance of, and are committed to, driving social value and tackling economic inequality by supporting the growth of UK-based SMEs and start ups through monthly working groups across Airbus in UK , supply chain and infrastructure. We work in close partnership with suppliers to support, collaborate and deliver the best service for our end customers and have signed up to the Prompt Payment Code to ensure that SME suppliers, are timely paid for the work they do https://check-payment-practices.service.gov.uk/report/54530

Led by our procurement function, Airbus seeks the latest supplier innovations by inviting technology companies to showcase their latest developments on a monthly basis. We assess the suitability and applicability of these innovative technologies in our customer projects.

We also recognise that education and access to opportunity is a key driver in making the UK a fairer society. In 2021 our virtual work experience programme saw over 4,000 students from across the UK engage with us and discover opportunities a career in our industry can offer. This format enabled us to reach young people outside our local communities and we targeted those who may face additional barriers to skilled employment; 20% of participants receive free school meals and 40% would be the first generation in their family to attend university. We hope to see more young people apply to our 129 apprenticeship, intern or graduate future programmes and aim to increase participation by 20% in 2022 with greater focus on attracting pupils from across our diverse society.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

Airbus strives to create a safe environment and inclusive culture, endeavoring to recruit, develop and retain a diverse pool of talent which reflects our customers, suppliers and the communities around us.

The Airbus careers site https://www.airbus.com/en/careers is W3C accessible enabling applicants with visual or hearing impairments to adapt the site to suit their needs. New offices are accessible, with hearing loops in larger meeting rooms. Flexible IT and smartphones are provided to enable remote working helping employees balance work and personal commitments and gender neutral toilets have been installed in newer buildings.

We are committed to achieving gender parity and are transparent with our gender pay gap figures, releasing reports annually.

Employee Resource Groups for minority communities and their allies are open to all and run regular social and educational sessions promoting conversation and understanding. Online learning covering inclusion and diversity topics are available to all employees and as of 2020 unconscious bias training was compulsory.

Airbus sees the diversity we have as an asset and aim to ensure that everyone feels included and able to bring their full selves to work. This results in happier more productive employees who better reflect the diversity of our suppliers, customers and wider communities.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

At Airbus we believe our people are our most valuable asset and so to help keep our teams safe and healthy, the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Department provides a UK-wide consultancy and advisory service which is available to all managers and employees. The department is staffed by highly qualified professionals in occupational health, occupational hygiene, chemical management, fire safety, occupational safety and environmental management.

To support good mental health and wellbeing, the Company has a wide range of resources to help manage mental health problems, and resources for managers and teams to help support each other, including trained mental health first aiders. We offer all employees access to an internal therapy service via occupational health and also have an external employee assistance program. All employees are able to access e-learnings on wellbeing and mental health and mental health awareness and mental health first aid training courses are made available each year.

Keeping our employees fit and well helps reduce demand on local NHS services and ensures that our people are able to support customers as expected. Most of us will experience illness at some point in our lives; we offer comprehensive, enhanced sick pay so that people can focus on getting well and helping to keep everyone safe.
